Lavender Brooke

I grew up in a land filled with huge mountain ranges and deep dark forests; a land inhabited by faeries, ogres and dragons and all manner of magical creatures.

Just because that land happened to exist in my imagination did not make it any less real to me.

As I grew older, I gave that land heroines. They were feisty young woman, clever and resourceful but all too human in their flaws.

In time, I transformed from a young girl into a young woman and began to introduce heroes into my private little world. After all, doesn't every heroine deserve a strong, handsome man with whom she can squabble and battle and then finally fall in love?

I'd like to take you there now, to that land I called Gilgandra. A place where adventure, magic and romance can be found in each new tale I tell.
